Well, of COURSE there already is.
About 70% of DotA versions featured one or more patches. x)

Too bad I am out of the loop for too long, though I am going to check out the changelog either way.

 

[DESTROYER123]

Congrats to MoCo and Hera_ and Dota.

 

[Binsu]

Meheeheeheheh......... now I can seee.....

 

[HammerFist132]

Low has reached a new level.

you know, just shut that's all.
Think of, when would you be able to create such map, don't even answer just shut.

 

[Avex]

DotA still exists?

*looks at LoL, DOTA2, etc*

I've hated DotA for years, to think it would be featured on a site like Hive.. for shame.

 

[Binsu]

Even the hate, users still brings it here.... what a disappointment.

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Seriously guys, what's wrong with DotA? It also keeps wc3 alive.

 

[Daffa]

if you don't like DotA tell it properly, don't just say it's useless and stuffs without reasons.
Warning : don't Flame when stating your opinion.

Thank you,
~Daffa the Mage

 

[Xarwin]

Let's start a war.

 

[EmoBrother]

DotA here ! Just hopes hivers don't discuz anything related to DotA at here ;D

 

[GreeN!X]

^We are already discussing about DOTA.

BTW, I'm not against DOTA but I really don't think it should be included in any other forum since they already have a forum of their own (or maybe more) and people can just visit there to check on the map.

It seems like people expect proper journalism as soon as they read "news".
Now, let's remember where we are...
Is it possible for this place to feature actual news of various genres?
Hardly, unless there are people in this community who actually studied journalism and collected experience in (high?) quality media/newspapers.
What we get to read here, are journals, or blog entries.

Hive "news" (their presentation and content) are usually highly subjective. The one who writes them decides what's going to be in it. There are no check-ups before or afterwards.
It's pretty much a one-man-show.

Now, we could try to make this an actually constructive discussion, hm?
Let me try.

Read at your own risk

DotA itself has nothing to do with Hive matters. It's no official Blizzard Entertainment product, either. So why is it in the "news" ?
Probably because the thought of "hey, this could be interesting and expand that news post" came up.
Now, if one was aiming for quality, one wouldn't artificially blow up posts with stuff that's unrelated to Hive's business.
Differentiate between what's worthwhile, legit information, significant for this site, and what's purely populist. There's no need to feed "the community" with information that's irrelevant to Hive matters, just to try and affect it in one way or another/trigger reactions.
Get rid of unnecessary (and wrong) bonds and influences, and try to work on objective news. Focus on criteria that represent this site's role.

Now, that was quite serious, wasn't it? Sorry for that.

Alternatively, one could simply disregard what one doesn't particularly like.
I mean, one doesn't read newspapers/journals one despises (at least I don't, and why would you?).
It's not affecting anything around here on a scale that makes it significant enough, really.

 

[Ralle]

Way to be hostile and negative guys. Honestly. We're planning on covering the Warcraft modding area in general and DotA is part of it, like it or not. If you have something big to announce, perhaps we'll post that too. If you don't want to read it, just skip it. Orcnet made that easy by not writing it in one block of text.

 

[Rui]

Figures that they probably changed the heroes a lot in about the 1 or 2 years I haven't played DotA, because Phoenix used to suck and its HP loss is being increased, Drow used to be rigged and its aura is getting a buff, Broodmother's incapacitation was way overpowered and now it makes you miss even more, Counter Helix is a nightmare and it's buffed — etc etc, like Keeper of Light losing strength despite being useless late game (back then)...

 

[Avex]

Seriously guys, what's wrong with DotA? It also keeps wc3 alive.

Only because it's the map that killed it in the first place.

This is from my view of a mapmaker, DotA killed the entire custom map community and b.net hosting a good 3-4 years ago, DotA was the only thing being played and you were lucky to see something else.

[neo_sluf]

Those who hate dota is just insecure because it is very popular! Thats the truth!

Does Ice Frog knows that DotA is on the hive news?...

you could also post the download link.. www.getdota.com

 

[Gekigengar]

Actually, Dota is not a part of hive, IceFrog is not related with hive at all, except for the few models and icons he used.

so why bother adding Dota to hive news? its named "Hive" News for some reason.

Its not like I am againts it or anything, one could simply ignore it lol.

because Dota afterall, kept wc3 alive up till now.

 

[Mr.Pockets00000]

Most of us wouldn't want to create a map as painfully overrated as DOTA. Not to mention the painfully dull and overly generic gameplay. DOTA isn't even an original Idea. Ever heard of Aeon of Strife anyone? And I agree, we don't care about DOTA's news on Hive. Moco's map, however, may be a breath of fresh air. I'm already very impressed with Moco from his BUGS map, and I know we can expect to see great things from him.

Or because some of us really find it to be no fun at all?

Seriously guys, what's wrong with DotA? It also keeps wc3 alive.

If someone was in great pain, and the only thing keeping it alive was a nasty parasite that somehow gained something from its host while providing it with minimal nutrients, would you be happy it was alive or would you want it out of its misery?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

I don't like DOTA either, but I don't really see the big deal with it being in Hive news... Just ignore it if you don't like it.
I don't like every page in the newspaper(s) I read, but that doesn't mean I feel the need to go camp outside the print house and yell about it.

The Dwarf Map looks cool though, glad to see there's still some quality modding around, it's just a shame I can't coax anyone I know into playing good old WC3.

Well you do bring up a good point sir, but know this some things need to be said. This is one of those things.

 

[Rui]

I played some wc3 DotA yesterday. Maybe it's just the -em mode granting you 2 or 3 levels per hero kill, but if the the game was already suspicious balance-wise, now it has become completely rigged. The way that I saw Slark getting ultra kills in about every game and intelligence heroes starting with ridiculously low HP in comparison, the situation overall looks worse than last time I played it years ago.

Offtopic: Please for hive... keep it to hive news, not dota news. Ralle you are wrong, dota isn't part of modding wc3. dota is the killer of wc3 as well they do have their own forum filled with lots of people.

Its the common case of Stockholm's syndrome. People get so used to their virus that has taken over the system, they can't imagine a system without it.

 

[Orcnet]

I agree

 

[neo_sluf]

Off Topic - if you will just get angry on dota then go off.. those people who dont apprecitate the game don't know how to play the game at all..

If you have nothing in the post except off-topic, and not in the off-topic section then you shouldn't be posting here.

You wanna bet?



Thank god so many people remember how many idea's have been stolen from this and other communities.
But like you people say. Ignore it. Whatever. Whoop da shoop. No hate, only love!

Sorry if you get offended.. no more dota topic here..

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Sheesh no flaming. So much hate guys, come on. You know DotA is popular because people like it and its a good game (opinion).

It's like always hating on the biggest person/group/etc just because they are the 'best' at what they/he/she is doing.

Honestly, I like how this is on the news, it is fine here.

PS. DotA is not in my top 20 fav maps.
